Now that you mention it, it does feel pretty likely.
 
This means that Italy and Canada would lose their 5th male quota and China would lose their 5th female quota. Poland, Croatia and Hong Kong would get to keep their 1500m quotas.
 
I'll edit the table with these changes.

Not sure if I've seen this before. One of the races has to be recalled because the DJ accidentally started playing music before the race started 

Larmarche 8th in the 500m. Top-3 non-Dutch. 

Yeah, I don't think the B races are produced for tv/streaming... if you can get to Calgary in time, I think tickets are only $10 to see it live though!

 

I am happy for them but waiting the draw to tell who will be the world cup top scorer this time 

I’ve tried to find some background and context, but can’t find any. She’s no longer part of the national ST squad and her comments after her failure to qualify for the Long Track world cups seemed to rule out a return to the short track.
 
Angel Daleman did qualify for the LT world cups, but at the moment seems unlikely to qualify for the LT Olympics, looking at the results this weekend in Salt Lake City. There are currently just too many rivals in the Dutch team that are much faster than she is. I wonder if she’s contemplating a return to the short track, which would boost at the least our relay chances. The decisive qualifying LT tournament is of course still a few weeks away, so her fortunes could change. 

I see that  Suzanne Schulting is entered as a reserve for the World Cup stop next weekend

well, it worked very, very well 
 
more simple advices like that, please! 

Fun fact: due to the cold tomorrow morning, an exception is made and electronically warmed socks are allowed
 
Not bad news for Bruna, who got a pair today after hearing about it. Might help to especially not have her left foot frozen, which still happens basically every time since the accident.

Former Dutch skater Erben Wennemars (Joep's father) has for years already been working for Dutch broadcaster NOS, analyzing the races and such. His advice for Femke Kok to break the WR tomorrow: "Just go faster"  

Winning in speed skating, fluent English (not Dutch it seems), something is off with this guy. 

Anouk Vetter (32), heptatlete, 2016 European Champion, Olympic silver in 2021 and silver at the 2022 and bronze at the 2017 and 2023 Worlds. 

Every time I see any kind of suspension, in all sports / countries, they always have "perfect" timing for the athlete to barely have a hurdle in their schedule / career 

I try to avoid both the sailing and the NOS coverage at the Olympics (and most other events).

Marit Bouwmeester, most succesful female Olympic sailor, with two golds, one silver and one bronze medal.

270 events.

 The Netherlands are the Top European NOC right now in the medal table! WOW! Congrats. And speed skating hasn't even started yet LOL
 
And I love your gold-silver medal ratio: 16-4.  Damn it, this is just awesome.

Listen I'll bet you the price of a roundtrip from Seattle to Birmingham (England, not Alabama) that I can gallivant about there for an entire month without any issue.
 
Everyone is becoming way too soft.

Looks like Birmingham 2026 is at risk of being cancelled as Birmingham is not safe to host events anymore according to its own police force. 

Ariarne Titmus  Swimming has retired 

This is basically in line with my thinking on this.
 
On the one hand, this sets a really bad precedent, and it isn't acceptable for an entire country's delegation to be denied visas for a world championship.
 
On the other hand, Israel is real lucky they haven't been banned or made "neutral" by any IF in the past two years.

Femke Bol has announced her switch to....the 800m

by the way, what a championship for Zwolinska 
 

🇳🇱 no Dutch-Americans (anymore), but a significant element of players from what was formerly the Netherlands Antilles, and are now several separate entities. These players have a Dutch passport, since these entities are all part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. As I wrote on another thread, their inclusion in our Baseball team is the reason that team self-identifies as The Kingdom Of The Netherlands and not simply The Netherlands.

Rowing teams results at worlds are disastrous. For ex. Men;s double sculls (with Trevor Jones) finished last in the heats behind countries like Indonesia. 

A clear 3-0 victory for Italy. It was never even close
